NEVER ENVY THE WICKED

Proverbs 24:1-2 Do not envy the wicked, do not desire their company 2 for their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about making trouble.

We sometimes ask God and ourselves, why the wicked seem to have so much going on and living a better life. But, never envy their way of life or their possessions, because it's only temporary. Whatever God is not apart of: our friendship, marriage. Job, or household, whatever, will not last.

Father, keep our lives free from love of money, and the love of material things and let us be content with what we have, our relationship with Christ. Lord, let us not envy the treasures the wicked possess here on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where our treasures are, there our hearts will be also. So, let us take care and be on our guard against all covetousness and envy, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of our possessions, but of our Spirits. Lord, baptize us in the Holy Spirit, that will help us surrender all to You and help us live the plan You have for our lives and not desire the company of the wicked. In Jesus name Amen
